Report: Sixers add forward Chris McCullough to Summer League roster

As the Philadelphia 76ers continue to build their 2018 NBA Summer League roster, there are a few names fans should expect to see in Las Vegas. Obviously, the rookie class will almost certainly be there, and a few other undrafted 2018 free agents such as Arizona State guard Tra Holder have been added to the roster.

Now, as Mike Waters of Syracuse.com revealed, the Sixers have added a former first-round pick from the 2015 NBA Draft in forward Chris McCullough.

The 23-year-old forward was the No. 29 overall pick by the Brooklyn Nets after playing his college ball with Syracuse. He averaged 15.1 minutes per game during his rookie season but posted averages of just 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Since that point, McCullough has averaged no more than 5.1 minutes per game in any year and was traded from the Nets to the Washington Wizards during the 2016-17 season. He played in 19 games last season for the Wizards, averaging 4.7 minutes, 2.4 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.

The 6-foot-11 forward is currently an unrestricted free agent so the summer league opportunity could give him a chance to showcase his talent and work toward earning a new deal somewhere.

During his lone season with Syracuse, he averaged 9.3 points and 6.3 rebounds but played in just 16 games due to a knee injury which eventually sidelined him for the year.
